Terri Schiavo's Caregiver's Affidavits

You have got to read these. Then tell me she should be starved to death. This is just evil, pure and simple. If you would rather die than be profoundly impaired that's fine, I understand and I totally and completely support you, (I would give you an overdose of morphine if I could), but it is not clear that this is what she wanted, and just because we might want something does not mean that we can assume someone else would. You can't know how you would feel unless you are in this position. Michael Schiavo, the bastard, should not be allowed to have custody of Terri, as he clearly has a conflict of interest here in that he stands to profit by her death. Isn't this obvious? The man is not trying to honor a beloved wife's final wishes. Just look at his behavior, it doesn't take a law professor to see that this man does not care at all about his poor "wife". I think that everyone should put their wishes down in writing and we should then go ahead and honor those wishes, but in the case where someone has not left these wishes in writing, then the one person who stands to benefit the most by that person's demise should not be the one person whose word we trust.
